Ukraine Military helicopter pilot Oleg Prystupa has called on the Australian government to send Taipan helicopters despite safety concerns.
The Albanese government formally declined Ukraine’s request for the fleet, warning them the aircraft posed an ‘unacceptable levels of risk’ to defence personnel.
Mr Prystupa disputed the claims saying that Australia’s retired fleet of MRH-90 Taipans are safe.
“In my opinion Taipan is more safe than a Mil Mi-8 and a Mil Mi-24.” he said.
“It’s 100 per cent.”

This government refused military assistance to USA, refuses military assistance to Ukraine, gives 43 million to Gaza for HAMAS to rort for themselves.
The sooner Trump returns and ends this griftshow the better
Ukraine doesn’t have a military anymore.
Civilians including women are being sent to frontline and many have surrendered.
What's Bowen going to use for his Wind Turbines if you send the Rotors with them. 😂
The Government is bowing to pressure from Russia they are gutless and heartless

Ukraine seems to be the Country where other countries “support” all military equipment disappears and reappears on the black market. This Country is the Money and weapons laundering scheme that is about to get far worse.
